Provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware attacks

Speaking about how the product is deployed in my company's business operations, I would say that it is an appliance with a critical infrastructure. In terms of data protection capabilities, the tool's ability to boot a device and have a separate network has saved the day for many of our company's clients who use the solution. If you have a collection of old servers, and if one of the old servers dies, you could be dead in the water if you cannot locally boot a server. Even the new gears in place can have an issue if people are not spending money on robust hardware tools, and replace them. It is necessary to have the local boot options if and when you have a hardware issue. The product brings the most value in the area of virtual boot when it comes to disaster recovery since it can boot up a version of the server from before an incident, which is helpful and allows your company to have a lower RPO or recovery point objective. It makes a big difference if you can have an RPO in hours rather than in days. The image-based backup functionality has revolutionized and impacted our company recovery time objectives since we deal in hours and not in days. The interface of the product is intuitive. I like the product's functionality that provides the ability to see everything at a glance, along with the alerting feature. Maintenance is required since certain drives die at times. In general, maintenance is required to deal with dead RAMs and hard drives. The former clients with small offices and the old Linux servers that used to die in production used to boot such servers with the help of Datto Cloud Continuity. The aforementioned process allows the clients to continue running their business while buying time to get replacement hardware, making a big difference that helps them reduce potential data loss or downtime. The local boot provided by the product saved the day for many of our company's clients. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Though the tool is not inexpensive, it provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"When you compare it to other systems that require a fat client to be installed or to have several VMs setup just to configure the system, Datto stands head and shoulders above."

"Very friendly, since it visually facilitates the control and administration of the backups."

"For local backup, it works well."

"They are laser-focused on bringing forth proven protection technologies and stopping cybercriminals from being able to breach, break, steal, or compromise your data."

"The platform provides a faster backup process."

"The data recovery of the solution is very good."

"Datto has strong competition, but they succeeded in linking their service to the device. It's easy for managed service providers to sell and upsell products using their portal and the remote monitoring and maintenance."

"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."

More Datto Cloud Continuity pros

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

"Every user of IT infrastructure needs to have a backup, and this is a good solution to implement because it is so easy and straightforward."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."

"Technical support is very good."

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."

"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."

"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."

"Veeam makes backup what it should be, set up back up jobs and when you need to restore something, click a couple buttons and restore."

"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical, the price is affordable, and the cost benefit is good."

"Nothing beats Veeam when it comes to Backup in a virtual environment."

"I like the backup and backup copy features."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"The product's scalability features could be even better."

"Datto chose to build their own cloud, instead of leveraging AWS, Azure or GCP. It looks, feels and behaves like a beta product (lacks maturity)."

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"At the time I was using it, I would've focused more on signatures of malicious software in the cloud. I love Datto, and I know they're on the right path, but I probably would've focused more on the operating system update management. When you go from the desk to the cloud or from the server room to the cloud, everything changes. Everything is different. You're not in control of your servers anymore. It is from the Active Directory management perspective and not from the perspective of zero-day attacks or other similar things. At the time, more focus on zero-day attacks and business email compromise (BEC) would've been a better protection factor than just educating about how many of these attacks have occurred."

"They are now providing the device instead of selling it, while wanting their users to sign a three-year contract, and this is something which my clients don't like...I dislike the fact that signing a three-year contract is required."

"To better integrate compatibility with other operating systems, in addition to Windows Server."

"Datto's only shortcoming is RMM. They have a portal-based connection service like ConnectWise, but it does backups and keeps things running. Datto purchased Backupify and Kaseya bought Datto. If they upped the ante in their RMM, I could see them dominating the MSP space. At the end of the day, MSPs are responsible for networks, software, devices, and backup. Datto covers all these functions so they could offer a turnkey MSP solution."

"The fact that Datto Cloud Continuity is not cheap is one of the aspects that I don't like about the product, making it an area where improvements are required."

More Datto Cloud Continuity cons

"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."

"Support for physical servers. Although we are continuing to virtualize all of our servers; there are, at this time, a few physical servers in our organization."

"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."

"Look at the price for the support. It is very high."

"At this point, my only complaint is about the licensing costs."

"I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication."

"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."

"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As the company grew from business continuity—or what used to be called business BCDR—they brought on services. Certain services, such as SaaS protection, were a value-add, but you would expect to pay for them. They are not going to be free. It is just the life that you live when you're evaluating software vendors, partners, etc. There is going to be some form of a base offering, and then there are going to be different tiers that you need to get up to a better level."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."

"The product is expensive."

"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."

"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."

"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."

"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."

"The product is competitively priced."

"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
